Dutch Railways moves customer service to the cloud with NICE CXone
NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) has partnered with Dutch Railways to modernize how passengers get help and information. By moving to the cloud-based NICE CXone platform, Dutch Railways is simplifying customer interactions and sharpening day-to-day operations. The goal is clear: quicker answers, fewer handoffs, and a more seamless experience for travelers across the Netherlands.
Why Dutch Railways chose NICE CXone
Running on multiple legacy systems made it hard to deliver consistent performance. Dutch Railways needed one integrated solution to bring its operations together. They selected NICE CXone for its proven track record as an industry-leading platform that supports real, sustained improvements in customer service through digital transformation.
Streamlining operations with the right tools
With NICE CXone and NICE Workforce Management (WFM) in place, agents work more efficiently. Processes have been tuned so workloads are balanced—an ongoing focus that helps prevent bottlenecks and supports higher job satisfaction. Agents now handle a mix of voice calls and digital conversations in a single, coherent flow, which makes it easier to keep customers moving and informed.
Results from the move to the cloud
The early outcomes are encouraging. Dutch Railways reports lower contact center costs and higher customer satisfaction. These gains tie back to smarter distribution of work and the digital capabilities available in NICE CXone—practical changes that reduce friction for both customers and agents.

Together with NICE and BrightContact, the team expects to keep refining and elevating the service people receive.
Darren Rushworth, President of NICE International, welcomed the move to CXone and highlighted the strong initial results. He underscored how NICE technology equips organizations to deliver consistently great service—at scale and in the cloud.
